CHEMISTRY
CHM 100—2 credits
No Audits
Preparation for College Chemistry
Session C-4wk (July 14–August 8)
MTWRF 9:30–11:15 a.m.; Hutchinson 138
CRN 12119; D. Crane
This course is designed to prepare students with limited backgrounds in science and mathematics for the level of problem-solving skills required in freshman chemistry. It covers aspects of mathematics such as scientific notation and logarithms; atomic structure, including atomic weights and isotopes; stoichiometry, with chemical equations and heats of reactions; solubility, molarity and normality; gases, including temperature pressure; Boyle’s, Charles' and ideal gas laws; reaction kinetics; equilibrium; and weak acids and bases.

CRN 12153; A. Sadique
This course is a continuation of CHM 131, emphasizing a microscopic approach to chemical system. Topics covered include: properties of atoms, atomic structure, chemical bonding, kinetics, and the descriptive chemistry of main group and transition elements. Students whose curriculum requires a laboratory should also register for the lab. Each student taking the laboratory must pay a lab fee of $50. Prerequisites: CHM 131 with a grade of C or better.

Organic Chemistry I
Session A-6wk (May 19–June 27)
MTWR 8:45–11 a.m.; Hutchinson 473
CRN 12164; B. Toder
This course provides an introduction to organic chemistry, focusing on chemical bonding; structure and stereochemistry; and reactions mechanism of organic compounds. The laboratory for CHM 203 is CHM 207, which runs concurrently. Students whose curriculum requires the laboratory should also register for CHM 207. Prerequisites: CHM 131 & CHM 132 or the equivalent.
CHM 204—4 credits
Organic Chemistry II
Session B-6wk (June 30–August 8)
MTWR 8:45 a.m.–11 a.m.; Hutchinson 473
CRN 12170; B. Toder
This is a continuation of a two-semester sequence in the study of organic chemistry. Topics include: the reactivity of various functional groups, approaches to organic synthesis, reactivity of conjugated systems, polymers, and molecules of biological significance. The laboratory for CHM 204 is CHM 208, which runs concurrently. Students whose curriculum requires the laboratory should also register for CHM 208. Prerequisites: CHM 131 & 132 or the equivalent.
